En route to the launch of Team Asobi’s Astro Bot on PS5, another special bot is available in Astro’s Playroom. It follows the addition of Lady Maria from Bloodborne: The Old Hunters and Selene from Returnal. The third bot is the Gran Turismo driver and while found in Cooling Springs, players must solve a puzzle to free it.

The fourth and final special bot is coming in September, and based on the silhouette, it should make Ape Escape fans happy. All these bots can transfer to Astro Bot when it launches next month. Since Astro’s Playroom is free for every PS5 player (and only takes about 4-5 hours to complete), this is the perfect yet completely optional way to prepare.

Astro Bot releases on September 6th for PS5 for $59.99. It’s a much bigger title than Playroom, with over 80 levels, 300 bots to rescue and more than 15 new abilities for Astro. Some new demo gameplay debuted during ChinaJoy 2024 – check it out here.
